We needed someone smart and capable not Pierre fucking Polievre. Again it's the lesser of 2 evils. And yes we are better off without PP.

Rick Mercer roasted that asshole more than a decade ago.

It's maddening that it WAS absolutely the correct vote, but these are the times we live in. The alternative would be so so so much worse. How can you not see that?

Continue to be critical of Carney. He has a lot to answer for, but he's doing well on the international stage so far. But he has to prove he can do what he says.

Hes a politician and a banker, be was always going to be concervative, but he's not to break the system he will hold it together in spite of the damage that is going to be done.

I hate him for betraying those whose jobs he's cut. I hate him for his anticlimate policies. i hate him for not having a spine and a vision of actually helping people instead of "building partnerships"

But he's better than the god damned alternative.

It wasn’t, though. Look at where “strategic” voting has gotten us: A descent into a situation where the lesser of the two evils is almost completely indistinguishable from the greater of the two of them AND WE HAD THE NDP. THERE WERE AT LEAST THREE OPTIONS, DUMBASS.

Anyone who thinks the NDP would have been worse than the Liberals despite all of what’s happening now being fully unsurprising is deeply unserious as a person and their opinions on the matter are beyond worthless. You didn’t vote against PP, you voted against progressive ideology and I will NOT pity you for your stupid, short-sighted nonsense about “lesser of two evils”.

We didn’t avoid ANY-FUCKING-THING and all we did was reinforce the idea that progressive politics aren’t popular in this country. Everything wrong with this god-forsaken place can be directed right back at the gutless, snivelling cowards who either vote center or don’t even fucking show up at all. I am SICK AND TIRED of trying to make you idiots feel comfortable, figure it out or get out of the fucking way.
